DisInterest
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to DisInterest! Probably the first fast-paced investing game you've seen! Buy and sell stocks on a volatile market in a futile attempt to pay your taxes.
HOW TO PLAY:
- [SPACE] Buy shares at their current value (10% of your wealth per press).
- [ENTER] Sell all shares at their current value.
- [LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS] While in-between rounds, switch companies. There are 3 companies that have different risks and rewards, indicated by their "volatility." It may be necessary to take risks to pay off your taxes.
- [SPACE] While in-between rounds, pay 10% of your wealth toward taxes per press.
THE RULES: Grow your wealth across 6 rounds of trading stocks to get enough money to pay exponentially increasing taxes. Whatever you don't pay at the end of each round becomes DEBT with interest. Finish Round 6 still in debt? Game over.
You'll fail your first time. Maybe even your first few runs. Each run is only about 3 minutes, so keep trying.
Hint: The rich get richer
